A Walk in the Garden [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1999

Filled with simple verse and proverbs, A Walk in the Garden shares with the reader the joys of nature. Bright colored pencil illustrations accompany the inspirational words of many authors, including John Keats, William Wordsworth and William Shakespeare.

Creating these books has truly been a family project, particularly with A Walk in the Garden, the second in the Harvard Ranch series. This volume is special because it also includes the artistic talents of Amy Reinhold Mosher. Amy is an avid gardener and conservationist, and found a deep connection with the text and illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, meaningful book, August 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Walk in the Garden (Hardcover)

Lovely verse and beautiful artwork make this a book to treasure. I gave copies of Harvard Ranch books to my grandmother at a Minnesota nursing home. To my delight, she shares them with all the residents there. This book would make a wonderful gift.
